In NSW, for example, it is an offence if you fail to disclose this when making a submission under the
Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979.
If this applies to you, please ensure you contact the council responsible so that you can make this disclosure.

We ask for your address when you comment on an application so that we can pass it on to the local authority.
To maintain your privacy online we do not display your address on the site.

We do this because the vast majority of planning authorities ask for peoples' addresses to be
included in comments on
applications. There are a variety of reasons for this. Some councils will reply via letter even when
the comment comes in via email. Also, the council may choose to take comments seriously only if they
come from local residents.
